ScoutStuff BOGO

Webelos have recently crossed over. Maybe you've got a few guys that just joined and are brand new to Scouting. Growth spurts causing clothes to no longer fit. It's a great time for a Buy One Get One sale on uniforms!

Check out the ScoutStuff.org BOGO sale on uniform shirts and pants for the next week. Youth zip-off pants are $20 instead of $40 - buddy up with another scout and each get a pair. It's a perfect opportunity to help your troop complete the lower half of the uniform.

And, what about those uniforms that are outgrown but not worn out? You should volunteer to start a uniform exchange in your troop or at the district level. It's a great way to pass on items that are still usable. An annual uniform garage sale is another option so folks can resell items, get back some of their cost, and others can save big.

Excellent idea. We do that at the private school I work at. At the end of the year 8th graders have a lost and found sale. They sell stuff we can't trace back to the owner. There are no prioes just donations. I donate money and get the used uniforms that kids have lost and then clean them and then donate to charity.
